Day4
  • Breakfast
  • Discover Deauville! Deauville is a coastal town on the Côte Fleurie, in the Normandy region of France.

    This chic seaside resort in Normandy is considered one of France's most prestigious towns. Situated in the Calvados department, between sea and countryside, Deauville is internationally renowned for its famous American Film Festival.

    Its long sandy beach is bordered by Les Planches, a famous promenade adorned with beach huts dating back to the 1920s. Whatever the season, it's always a pleasure to stroll along Deauville beach. At 2 kilometers long and very exposed to the wind, it is particularly popular with lovers of water sports such as surfing and windsurfing.

    Vieux Deauville
    Discovering Vieux Deauville, also known as the Coteau district, takes you back to the origins of the town. In the 19th century, Deauville was far from the chic, luxurious town we know today. It was a simple village of fewer than 200 inhabitants located on the Mont Canisy plateau, high above Deauville.

    L'Hippodrome
    While Deauville is world-famous for its cinema, it is also renowned for its equestrian activities. So whether you're a horse rider or a racegoer, Deauville is sure to meet your expectations.

    Trouville-sur-Mer’s Neighbor
    Trouville-sur-Mer, Deauville’s neighboring town, offers a host of tourist attractions.

    Drive through rolling hills and postcard-perfect villages to visit a local cheese and cider producer and sample traditional Normandy cheese, pommeau, and calvados brandy.

    From here, head to your first stop of the day: a little fishing village on the Côte Fleurie coast.
    This town once attracted impressionist painters thanks to its climate and remarkable peaceful atmosphere.
    These days, this stretch of coast is home to several high-end beach communities, such as Deauville and Trouville.
    Extravagant villas line the sandy beaches, while horse racetracks, golf courses, casinos, art galleries, and more offer visitors plenty of options.

    Continue along the Côte de Grâce coast to the town of Honfleur, where time seems to have stopped several centuries ago.
    Stroll through the town center to see medieval churches, particularly St. Catherine's Church.
    Renaissance design is present throughout the city, as the 16th century was a prosperous time for the region.
    In more recent memory, the village served as a hub for artists, when Monet and his painter friends gathered here to meet at the St. Simeon Farm.

    Opened in 1998, the Maisons Satie (6.30 € per adult) invites you to discover—through an audio-guided scenographic tour—the universe of the composer and pianist Erik Satie, born here on May 17, 1866.
    Avant-garde for his time, Erik Satie himself said even that he was "born very young in a very old time."

    After a tour of the town, spend some time exploring on your own.
    Enjoy lunch in one of the town's many seafood restaurants, go shopping, or visit art galleries.

    In the afternoon, head back onto countryside roads, where hedgerows line idyllic pastures and apple orchards dot the hills.
    Follow the winding roads as you pass by horse farms and stately manor homes, finally ending your day in the village of Beuvron-en-Auge—
    a typical Normandy village with restored half-timbered homes, a historic inn, and a plethora of cider makers.

  • Mont Saint Michel guided visit (2h) This iconic abbey sits on an island in the middle of an immense bay, where Europe's highest tides create a natural moat. Mont-Saint-Michel came into being in 708 CE, when the archangel Saint Michael ordered Aubert, bishop of Avranches, to build a sanctuary here.

    In the 10th century, the monastery was replaced by a Benedictine abbey, which welcomed pilgrims who came to venerate the archangel. Construction continued until the French Revolution in 1791, when the abbey became a prison. It wasn't until 1864 that Mont-Saint-Michel was included on the French list of historic monuments and restored for visitors.

    After a coastal drive to reach the UNESCO-listed site, meet your guide and start exploring this fascinating rocky islet and famous sanctuary. At its base are medieval walls and towers, above which rise the clustered buildings of the village, the ancient abbey crowning the mount. You can expect plenty of walking today on steep stairs and wet sand, so make sure you wear comfortable shoes and bring a jacket for the brisk ocean breeze.

    Your guide will share with you all the little secrets this island has to offer during a 2-hour tour. [English Guide]

    Continue along the Côte de Grâce coast to the town of Honfleur, where time seems to have stopped several centuries ago.
    Stroll through the town center to see medieval churches, particularly St. Catherine's Church.
    Renaissance design is present throughout the city, as the 16th century was a prosperous time for the region.
    In more recent memory, the village served as a hub for artists, when Monet and his painter friends gathered here to meet at the St. Simeon Farm.

    Opened in 1998, the Maisons Satie (6.30 € per adult) invites you to discover—through an audio-guided scenographic tour—the universe of the composer and pianist Erik Satie, born here on May 17, 1866.
    Avant-garde for his time, Erik Satie himself said even that he was "born very young in a very old time."

    After a tour of the town, spend some time exploring on your own.
    Enjoy lunch in one of the town's many seafood restaurants, go shopping, or visit art galleries.

    In the afternoon, head back onto countryside roads, where hedgerows line idyllic pastures and apple orchards dot the hills.
    Follow the winding roads as you pass by horse farms and stately manor homes, finally ending your day in the village of Beuvron-en-Auge—
    a typical Normandy village with restored half-timbered homes, a historic inn, and a plethora of cider makers.

  • Mont Saint Michel guided visit (2h) This iconic abbey sits on an island in the middle of an immense bay, where Europe's highest tides create a natural moat. Mont-Saint-Michel came into being in 708 CE, when the archangel Saint Michael ordered Aubert, bishop of Avranches, to build a sanctuary here.

    In the 10th century, the monastery was replaced by a Benedictine abbey, which welcomed pilgrims who came to venerate the archangel. Construction continued until the French Revolution in 1791, when the abbey became a prison. It wasn't until 1864 that Mont-Saint-Michel was included on the French list of historic monuments and restored for visitors.

    After a coastal drive to reach the UNESCO-listed site, meet your guide and start exploring this fascinating rocky islet and famous sanctuary. At its base are medieval walls and towers, above which rise the clustered buildings of the village, the ancient abbey crowning the mount. You can expect plenty of walking today on steep stairs and wet sand, so make sure you wear comfortable shoes and bring a jacket for the brisk ocean breeze.

    Your guide will share with you all the little secrets this island has to offer during a 2-hour tour. [English Guide]
